Nooooooooooooo! Been down that road. Bought a seemingly solid 1995 Rover used in 2001, about 60k on it, all service records, etc. Proceeded to spend gobs of cash on it which it happily soaked up then proceeded to develop a new problem almost weekly. Sold it after 6 months at a big loss.
It drove great and ran great when it wanted to. Amazing off road but at a big cost. I understand the newer ones are better but not sure how much. Parts prices were staggering... Made 911 parts seem like chump change.
